Join us down at the RAD shed to fix up kids bikes to giveaway for XMAS!

All ready-to-ride bikes at the end of the day go to Barnardos, one of NZ’s largest providers of children social services.

So bring your whanau, join the fun, learn some new skills and help others.

We’ll fire up the BBQ to keep the helpful helpers happy.

AND… there’ll be some freebies up for grabs for those who prove their RADness!

All donations of dungers are greatly appreciated.

Mobile RAD Fix Up’s

Have your bike tuned up in good working order while watching a film? How amazing is that?! For a koha, our fix it workshop crew is there to check and tune up your bike. We’ll cover the basics with a safety check, general inspection and advise, adjusting the gears and brakes, inflating tyres and tightening all the loose jiggly bits to the correct tension. Puncture repair kits and spoke reflectors will also given away for FREE while stocks last.

Don’t have a bike or could use another? RAD will be displaying our best vintage bikes that deserves a new owner, these blasts from the past have been restored to good working condition and will be a splendid choice for your daily commutes. Your koha for the bike helps keep cycling heritage alive and sustains the RAD project to continue to serve the community well.

The fix it workshop is a great opportunity for you to have your bike checked by our mechanically competent RAD volunteers, we want you to be inspired to get out and ride your bike!
